"This year's crops are growing very well." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others also dismounted with Zhao Chen and came to the field, Yu Yunwen had already picked an ear of wheat, picked out the wheat grains, and chewed them gently.

"Your Majesty, this grain of wheat is unusually full. It seems that this year is a good year. After a long while, Yu Yunwen said.

His parents were farmers, and he knew a lot about crops, so he just watched for a while to know how this year's crops were going to be.

"yes!" Zhao Chen nodded

He looked around, surrounded by lush wheat fields. Farther away, there are fields of sorghum. Standing here, with the breeze blowing, Zhao Chen has a feeling of returning to modernity. In modern rural areas, such scenes can often be seen.

While they were talking, dozens of young men suddenly ran on the path in the wheat field.

The young men all had the sticks in their hands, and some of them had spears in their hands.

They had just received news that a large army had passed through here, so they rushed here.

Getting closer and closer to the Great Army, they have already discovered that this is the army of their own people.

"Could it be that the army that attacked Western Xia has returned?"

"Is it the return of His Majesty?"

The thought suddenly came to the minds of these young men, and they strode forward. The weather was unusually hot, they were out of breath one by one, and when they came to the army, they happened to see Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others standing in the wheat field.

"Ahh Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

All the young men stood there in a daze, and after a moment they fell to their knees with excited expressions on their faces.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, one by one, the young people shouted.

"Let's all hurry up. I have said many times that the army should not bow down anymore. You belong to the Production and Construction Corps, and you are also soldiers, so you don't have to bow down. Zhao Chen said.

Looking at these young people, he had an unusually intimate feeling. After staying in Western Xia for almost half a year, I was overjoyed to see my compatriots.

"Your Majesty, are you returning from Western Xia?" A young man stood up from the field and asked excitedly.

"Of course." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, have you defeated the army of Western Xia?" The young man looked at Zhao Chen and asked with an eager expression.

"Naturally, it was the army that defeated the Western Xia. We annihilated the 300,000 main forces of Western Xia, and forced Western Xia to cede Lingzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou. Now, Western Xia exists in name only. From now on, it will be impossible for Western Xia to endanger our Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Chen looked at these young people and said loudly.

"Ahh What the? Western Xia exists in name only? ”

"The main forces of Western Xia have all been defeated?"

"Lingzhou and Liangzhou have all returned my Great Song?"

One by one, the youths froze again, and after a moment their faces showed expressions of ecstasy.

While they were talking, dozens of young people arrived in the distance.

These young people first saw Zhao Chen, and then listened to the young people around them say these words, and they were also ecstatic at the moment.

"Western Xia, was completely defeated by us? I really doubt I heard it wrong? ”

"It has been more than 100 years since the party members stole the northwest, and our Great Song Dynasty has always been powerless against them. This time, His Majesty drove a personal expedition, and in just half a year, he almost wiped out Western Xia? It's just incredible! ”

"Your Majesty is naturally different from others! Your Majesty is a saint, and as long as you follow Your Majesty, you will naturally be able to achieve victory. Don't talk about Western Xia, the Jurchens are not enough to mention. ”

The young men were talking excitedly.

At this moment, Zhao Chen had already ridden his horse again, and he was going to lead the army back to Wugong County.

However, he had not walked a few steps when young men arrived in the distance, and these young men stopped Zhao Chen's horses, stopped the horses of the soldiers, and the leading youth strongly urged the army to go to their village. The look on the faces of these young people was extremely expectant, Zhao Chen thought about it, smiled and nodded.

There are crop fields one after another around here, and there are more than a dozen villages here. Now the army entered the different villages.

Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others entered the largest Zhuangzi in the vicinity.

There are thatched huts everywhere in this Zhuangzi, and the whole Zhuangzi gives people the feeling of "simplicity". It seems that the village has not been established for a long time. Zhao Chen called the village chief of this village over, inquired carefully, and sure enough, this village was built by the Production and Construction Corps after they arrived here. Now there are more than 300 "villagers" in this village, but they have more than 5,000 acres of crops. The population of this era was less than one-tenth of that of later generations, and there was a lot of land. In addition, Guan Shaanxi has experienced wars before, and many people are even more sparse. According to the youth, some "villages" are even more excessive than this one, and one young man is responsible for twenty or thirty acres of land.

"So much land? Will you be able to finish farming? Zhao Chen said in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, we young people are not afraid of hardship or tiredness. When the farm is busy, we only have two or three hours off a day, and the rest of the time we work. Some 'villages' have too much land in them, and their work may be a little rough. But that's also a last resort, we still lack labor. "The village chief is a young man who has just turned twenty-two years old, this young man said.

"Now that the situation in Sichuan has gradually stabilized, it is possible to sign that young people from Sichuan will come to Guanshan." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"That's great!" The village chief said excitedly.

"Do you still have any difficulties on weekdays?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, this ......" the village chief's face showed a slurred expression.

"Let's talk about it." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the entire Guanshan has millions of young people from the Production and Construction Corps. All of us young people are men. There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. A few days ago, my mother wrote to me, saying that she had made a marriage for me and asked me to go back and get married. Not only me, but many young people have received letters from home. But now is the time when the farming is busy, and we can't go back. Moreover, we are also soldiers, and we also have military discipline requirements, so we cannot leave Guanshan at will. The village chief's face was slightly red, and he said.

"This is simple, so that those girls can come to Guanshan and produce the construction corps. They can also join the Production and Construction Corps. If you wish, you can start a family in the Production and Construction Corps. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

He had forgotten about it.

Because of the war, the population of Guanshan was greatly lost, and after the establishment of the Production and Construction Corps, there were more than one million young people here, but all of them were men. There were only men and no women, and not at that time. Zhao Chen felt that after going back, he should have a good discussion with everyone in the Military Aircraft Department, and it was best to mobilize young women to come to Guanshan and also enter the Production and Construction Corps. However, the concept of people in this era is very different from that of later generations, paying attention to the male protagonist inside and outside the female protagonist, and women may not be willing to come here. Therefore, this will require the continued mobilization work of the Communications Division.

"Your Majesty, we also want to join the regular army. We also want to be soldiers of the Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army. Another young man said.

"In the second half of the year, we will definitely recruit soldiers. By that time, priority was given to the Production and Construction Corps. Those of you who perform well can join the regular army. However, the regular army is extremely hard, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous, I hope you have all considered it. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have thought about it a long time ago! We all want to join the regular army! Only the army is the best destination for men, and the battlefield is the best destination for men! Even if we die on the battlefield, we are willing. A young man was excited.

"Very well, you guys have such thoughts, I'm glad you guys have that. Rest assured, the army will give priority to yours. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, can you tell us about the Western Xia battlefield again?" There is the word that young people yearn for.

At that moment, Zhao Chen smiled and spoke again, and there were other soldiers next to him, and the rest of the soldiers also spoke. In the rest of the surrounding villages, such things also happen everywhere.

It didn't take long for the villages to hear the sounds of cheering. In addition to the sound of cheers, you can also constantly hear the sounds of "Long live Your Majesty" and "Long live the Great Song Dynasty".

They stayed here for more than an hour, and the young men gave the melons and fruits they had grown to the soldiers of the army to eat, and they delivered the water to the soldiers. After that, they kept retaining, and they even hoped that the army could stay here for the night, but the army had to leave when they wanted to return to Wugong County.

It's just that after the army left, these young men followed behind the army one after another.

It was only twenty or thirty miles away from Wugong County, and all the way to the south, more and more young people followed behind them. Countless young men who had received the news came out of their villages and followed behind the army.

When the sun set, they finally saw Wugong County in the distance, and at this moment, there were countless people in the distance coming towards this side.
